22 September 2017 | An audience with the SEQ Council of Mayors

The Council of Mayors (SEQ) was established in September 2005 as an independent political advocacy organisation to represent the interests of one of the nation’s fastest growing regions – South East Queensland. It is Australia’s largest regional local government advocacy organisation, representing the one in seven Australians who call SEQ home.

The membership of the Council of Mayors (SEQ) consists of the 11 Mayors representing the Councils of SEQ: Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba councils. With five out of the ten largest Councils in Australia in SEQ, the region is no longer just a series of disparate geographic areas but a region that, in practical terms, functions as a single metropolitan area.

Spotlight on Infrastructure

The Council of Mayors (SEQ) has been lobbying the Queensland Government to investigate an alternative funding model to deliver the infrastructure needed to service South East Queensland’s (SEQ) growing population.
